This week Josh jumps into 7 very important things not to do when you as a Parent find out your son or daughter has been looking at porn.
Let us equip ourselves and one another as we continue towards “Becoming Whole.”
Highlights:
So many of us when we find out a son or daughter's been viewing porn, we feel paralyzed, we feel concerned we don't know what to do, we feel inadequate, we don't feel prepared for this. Temptation is a normal human experience for men and women living in a fallen world, including saved men and women, Christian men, and women who have a new identity in Christ.
...if your son or daughter has been exposed to pornography, they've been exposed to something that has troubled the waters of their soul, that it is disruptive stuff that they've seen.
Don't ignore those things in your heart, this is actually an opportunity for you to grow closer to Jesus.
7 Things Not to do:
- Don’t freak out
- Don’t shame your kids
- Don’t do nothing
- Don’t let your own failures disqualify you
- Don’t lecture
